Bricasti Reverb (breakthrough) - Page 2

MichaelPatrick · 7th January 2007

Yesterday I spoke for 15 min with a guy who records and mixes for the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops -- apparently it's one organization. He's got a beta unit and won't give it back. He said he's never heard a verb so good, and certainly nothing that so seamlessly blends spot mics into existing reverberant spaces.

Since I record acoustic material in live halls and also I want one badly for the very same reason, and to lengthen the tail of nice but small rooms.

I heard:

It'll list for $3,600
They are negotiating US distribution with Summit Audio
Parts are almost all in and the contract manufacturing house is about to start building the first batch

...[*]It'll list for $3,600[/LIST]

I hate it when i hear this stuff

A] because the thing probably sounds really good.
and
B] it's expensive ..but you get what you pay for.

Expensive ?? Do you know how much Lexicon 960 L stereo version is ? 3 times more. And it is very likely this unit will sound yet better ...

Killahurts · 7th January 2007

I agree- if it sounds that good, $3600 is quite fair.

But I've learned not to get too excited about stuff like this until I have an actual unit to try out myself. I figure realistically, it'll be summer or more before I get one in here to try out (based on the way these things usually go).

Ive done a video with casey and his new Bricastiverb.

the guy definitely knows how to make a good verb. it sounds fantastic on acoustic stuff!

Yeah, crunch time, no doubt. I noticed your in MA, do you have a place around Boston? Maybe we could get together after NAMM.

Right.

I'm looking forward to trying the Bricasti. Here's hoping it will be as great!

ok, that will prevent you from beeing slaved to a Bricasti-unit for 24hours and pray to casey for his forgivness

RoundBadge · 11th January 2007

Here's to hoping for a working model @ NAMM.thumbsup
i'm in the market for a new verb and the Bricasti could be it.

Tetness · 19th January 2007

Roundbadge and I gave the Briscati a good listen with its designer and it's incredible. It's got the processing power of 100 480L's or something like that. Presents haven't been built yet so we were listening to only one verb; but it was 3D and lush. As far as modern digital reverbs go, this gets my vote.thumbsup thumbsup

RoundBadge · 19th January 2007

Yup..
I'll second that.
smoooooth as butta..
Beautiful sounding box
i really liked the demo ..
Like to hear all the working presets..
..

Ribbonmicguy · 19th January 2007

I like what i'm hearing as well!!!!

kingofthecrate · 22nd January 2007

Spent some time talking with Brian and Casey..

These guys both came from Lexicon and I have to tell you guys.. This peice is a breakthrough and will find its home in every project and professional studio.

The reverb on this thing is F*&%^ing amazing....

mixerguy · 22nd January 2007

I can't judge reverb on headphones...

I look forward to demo-ing it in person soon...

well we heard this thing on headphones and in vocal asylums main room and it gave me goose bumps..

CorkyTart · 22nd January 2007

Yeah, its f'n bad ass I checked it out...

w2w · 22nd January 2007

Any Price info yet?

audiomichael · 22nd January 2007

elsewhere on the web, they said it'll list in the low $3,000 range. I hope this verb is amazing. I have the TC4000, I wish Lexicon did a 1u stereo version of the 960. This might be the next closest thing.

jindrich · 22nd January 2007

wow, i dont know about the reverb, but this thing looks JUST like a Mark Levinson nº32 reference preamplifier! (veeeeerrry ezpensive)

the more i look the more i see nothing but a copycat actually. I think the old Levinsons had rack ears too. how odd.

fifthcircle · 23rd January 2007

Heh... They told me that Mark Levinson designed the analog front end for it.

Heard it on speakers at the party and I can't wait to give it a go on the stuff I record. Sounded pretty awesome and will work very well for the acoustic stuff that comes through my doors.

--Ben

Jules · 23rd January 2007

I was impressed too....

My feeling is that it very likely RULES for short spaces & reverbs and therefore will become a 'must have' for the R&B mixer crowd. (or any mixer that is a fan of that short stuff)
